VFOOD RESTAURANT

Summary

Concept

The village Heijplaat is built in 1914 as result of the remote area of the RDM factory. The employees had to travel a far distance and the owner of the factory decides he wants his employees close to the factory. In 1983 the factory had gone bankrupt as result of that the whole community not only lost their jobs but also the reason to exist.

The concept of the project is to renew the RDM factory as a center for the village. Not to work but to enjoy the surrounding as a former harbor. The rough materials, remote area and the large buildings give the RDM factory his identity. The addition of 3000 people creates the need for more activities then just education. To make the surrounding more attractive also during the evening for the people the project provides a restaurant. The project stands in contrast with his surrounding; it creates a friendlier environment where people can meet.The project provides his goods for the restaurant in the form of urban farming in the top of the tower. The project is more than just a restaurant it’s also a docking-station for floating pavilions. At the bottom of the tower there activities located that supported the floating hotel rooms of the Veni-Vidi project. The structure is based on a 3d voronoi and creates a natural surrounding with a human scale.
